“T can't help but write you of the wonderful satisfaction IT had from your 
Spencer Sweet Peas and in fact all of your garden seeds. They are far 
supertor to any I have seen and I have seen sweet peas from two large estates. 
As to size and color yours far surpassed them all. 
“They have bloomed for two months and are a mass of color, every one you 
advertised in the collection—four blossoms on one stem.”
